Sheriff: Nuisance property seized in North Bend

An apartment building in North Bend is being shut down and seized Friday after a series of drug complaints and police runs, officials said.

"Two dead bodies have been removed from this building in the recent past," the Hamilton County Prosecutors Office said in a press release. "We felt civil nuisance action was our best option."

The sheriff's office responded to the building at 154 Miami Avenue early Friday to execute the nuisance order. Lt. David Daugherty said the property is being seized and closed.

Daugherty said a large law enforcement presence was at the building.

Tisch Properties is listed as the owner of the property zoned for apartment use, according to county records. The land and building was purchased in 2009 for $120,000.

No further information about the property or the nuisance investigation has been released. The prosecutor's office said Judge Leslie Ghiz would be presiding over a hearing regarding the building soon though a date was not named.
